"Spending My Time"

"Spending My Time"


What's the time?
Seems its already morning
I see the sky, its so beautiful and blue
The TV's on
But the only thing showing is a picture of you

Oh, I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin
Then I thank the Lord above
That you're not there to see me
In this shape I'm in

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think of me too
I'm spending my time

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh, help me please
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind

I'm spending my time

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on
Time will make sure will get over you
This silly game of love you play you win only to lose

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind

"Staring At The Ground"

"Staring At The Ground"


I'm staring at the ground
I'm bloodless, thrown away from the sun
What's lost cannot be found
I can't return your tears
If I ever live to be a thousand years
I'm staring at the ground
I never wished you a broken heart
Coincidence put you down
He won't withdraw those tears
If you ever lived to be a thousand years
What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?
I'm staring at the ground
I wish I could bring the spring to your door
To the coldest side of town
I carry your wounded dreams
Like the devil's deeds in the pocket of my jeans
What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?

"Stars"

"Stars"


You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
Wherever you go, I'm going with you
Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow
Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow
And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
Why don't you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don't you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na
Wherever you go, I'm going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow
And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you
Stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you
And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

"Stay (At Home, At Work, At Play)"

"Stay (At Home, At Work, At Play)"


You took a ride to the other side
But I loved you
You took a flight in the middle of the night
But I loved you
You took a swim in an ocean of fools
I still loved you
You took a dream, then you painted it blue
But loved you

I thought you never would come back
I thought you never could come back, oh no
Stay... stay another day
I want you all the way
At home, at work, at play
Won’t you stay?
Make it easy babe
Wait another day
Stay home, at work, at play

You tried to learn from history
You tried to kiss like a lover should
On the balcony
You took a dive when a fish was alive
But I loved you
You took my smile and have turned it to a cry
But I loved you

I’ve never suspected you looking back
I’ve never expected you come back, oh no
Stay... stay another day
I want you all the way (I want you, I want you)
At home at work at play

Please stay
Make it easy babe
Wait another day (another day, another day)
Stay home, at work, at play
Stay... stay another day

I want you all the way (I want you, I want you)
At home at work at play
Please stay
Make it easy babe
Wait another day (another day, another day)
Stay home, at work, at play

Won’t you stay?
Please stay...

"Surrender"

"Surrender"


She knows I'd do anything she wants me to,
the love she finds is deeper than the ocean.
She knows I'd do anything she wants me to,
a river of dew, warmer than the dawning.

Surrender - tie the cover to the ground.
Surrender - tie the cover to the ground.
But don't turn around and walk away again.
Don't turn around and walk away again.

He knows I'd say anything he wants to hear,
loud and clear calls the voice of lovers.
He knows I'd do anything he wants me to,
like ruby rain, I wash away the pain.

surrender...

"The Big L."

"The Big L."


She's the top, she's got the world on a string
She makes me boogie, makes me do anything, yea yea

Hey now, touch the sky
You've got a certain kind of look in your eyes

Well, she's a miracle, she's all that I need
Like the water and the air that I breathe, yea yea

Hey now, reach the sky
There's a certain kind of look in your smile

And I know what love can do
Yes I know what hearts can do

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big big love
I'm building the big big love

It's kinda strange, a bit mysterious
I gotta take it oh so so serious, yea yea

Hey now, touch the sky
You've got a certain kind of look in your eyes

It used to be so hard so lonely at night
Well, she's my baby and I'm feeling allright

Hey now, move the sky
There's a certain kind of look in that smile

When I'm making love with her
When I'm making love to her, yea

The big love is taking the wheel
The big love goes head over heels
The big lust, bring it into the small world
The bigger, the better

Big love, waiting to catch the big one
Head over heels, the big one
Bring it into the small world
I'm building the big big love
I'm building the big big love

It has to be a big thing
It's bringing me to my knees
Has to be a big thing
Big thing

Ya know what I'm saying...

"The Center Of The Heart (Is The Suburb To The Brain)"

"The Center Of The Heart (Is The Suburb To The Brain)"


What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of the heart is the suburb to the brain?

You wear them so well, those innocent eyes
You're putting on a wonderful disguise.
I want you so bad, I'm pushing my luck
It feels like being hit by a truck.
This is no place special, don't know why I came
If someone has a minute, won't you explain?

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

Beeing with you, dealing with fire
Oh, won't you come around (come out) come out (today) and play
I want you so bad, answer my calls
Let's spend the night within these walls
This is no place special, nothing for the same (nothing for the same)
If someone's got a minute, do please explain!

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me...
(tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me)
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
The center of my heart... yeah, yeah, yeah!
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon hoooooooo!
Na na na na na na
What am I gonna do now?

What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

"The First Girl On The Moon"

"The First Girl On The Moon"


She was the first girl on the moon
She didn't compromise
When she took off that cold afternoon
Heading for the northern skies.
I told her I could come
That I could come along.
She was the first girl on the moon
I think I was her only friend
She brought her raygun, an old harpoon
Just in case of accidents.
I told her I could come
That I could come along
But she didn't let me come along
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye.
She was the first girl on the moon
Standing tall, flag in hand
She looked around humming a tune
The strangest song known to man.
I told her I could come
That I could come along
But she never let me come along
Wave goodbye. Wave goodbye.

"The Heart Shaped Sea"

"The Heart Shaped Sea"


Babe it's time
to tell me that it's over,
tell me that it's over,
it's plain to see.
And this time
we won't be starting over,
no crying on your shoulder
into the heart shaped sea.
Oh you've been a-running
from our door
and you've been enchanted
by the gracious voice of love.

Babe it's time
to look me in the eyes,
time to say goodbye,
it's clear to me.
And this time
I won't let you down,
you can turn around,
I'll set you free.
Oh you've been a-sailing
from our shore
and you've been enchanted
by someone from afar.

Babe it's time
to gather all the harvest,
to pray before the winter
and sail the heart shaped sea.
Oh you've been a-running
from my love
and you've been enchanted
by the powers up above.

"The Look"

"The Look"


1-2-3-4
Walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
tasty like a raindrop,
she's got the look.
Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
Kissing is a colour,
her loving is a wild dog,
she's got the look.
She's got the look.
She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
and I go: la la la la la
she's got the look.
Fire in the ice,
naked to the T-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.
Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer,
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
Kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.
And she goes:
na na na na na na na na.
